Left Neoliberals

In the end, the public confrontations between the two men amount to little more than a Clash of Neoliberals. We are enthralled as two wealthy men, one white and one black—both of whom have emerged from and owe their allegiance to specific economic power blocs—argue over points which betray their almost exactly similar policies. Yet, like the most addicted gamblers, we still delude ourselves into thinking that we actually have a stake in this game. We are persuaded that a gamble is actually a choice, and that may be the biggest shell game of all.
